The extent of this vast moral disease of man called sin

Ryle starts by stating that “the plain truth is that a right knowledge of sin lies at the root of all saving Christianity.  Without it such doctrines as justification, conversion, sanctification, are ‘words and names’ that convey no meaningto the mind. The first thing, therefore, that God does when He makes anyone a new creature in Christ is to send light into his heart and show him that he is a guilty sinner.”The extent of this vast moral disease of man called sin▪ Genesis 6:5; Jeremiah 17:9; Isaiah 1:6▪ Sin is a disease that pervades and runs through every part of our moral constitution and every faculty of ourminds▪ The understanding, the affections, the reasoning powers, the will, are all infected.▪ Even the conscience is so blinded that it cannot be depended on as a sure guide▪ In spiritual things we are “dead”▪ “Deny it [the power, extent, and universality of sin], as many do, and you are at once involved in inexplicabledifficulties, I a word, the uniformity and universality of human corruption supply one of the mostunanswerable instance of the enormous ‘difficulties of atheism.’”+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.
